About this property
Once part of a Windermere gentlemen’s residence, this charming property is close to the shores of Lake Windermere. Langdale View, as its name suggests, enjoys fabulous views of the famous Pikes and has been cleverly designed to take full advantage of its setting.
A private drive leads to this and just two other properties, with guests of Langdale View enjoying private parking for two cars. A large entrance hall offers plenty of storage space for coats and boots, and benefits from a useful cloakroom with washbasin and wc. The ground floor sitting room is a wonderfully light space with lots of room for guests to spread out and relax. Welcoming sofas, a large bay window and patio doors leading out onto the terrace make this room very special. The kitchen comes with a generous dining area and is equipped with everything a large party might need to prepare a hearty breakfast before a day on the water, Sunday lunch or evening meal.
On the first floor are three of the property’s four bedrooms. A gorgeous double with stunning views of the Langdale Pikes and an en-suite power shower room, and two twin bedded rooms, both with fabulous views and their own en-suite facilities. The first has an en-suite power shower room and the second has an en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath. The loft suite is up a final flight of stairs. Not only does this room have its own en-suite, but also a separate living space and terrace. Who wouldn’t enjoy an al-fresco breakfast with superb views like these?
Windermere itself is a lively village with a fine variety of shops, restaurants and bars. Guests are within walking distance of a fabulous quirky cinema, independent boutiques and local theatre, as well as lake cruises, boat hire and a range of water sports. There is most certainly something to please everyone in your group.
The twin towns of Bowness and Windermere are both vibrant, fun-filled places set within the splendid scenery of the Lake District. Both towns provide a range of amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes whilst Ambleside offers the additional attraction of a boat ride to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium and Beatrix Potter's 'Hill Top House' at Sawrey. Grizedale Forest Park is within easy driving distance and is home to a range of activities including many good walks, mountain biking and the 'Go Ape' adventure park. The region also boasts many National Trust properties as well as a variety of water sports for those who prefer a more adrenaline-fuelled trip. Children will enjoy a trip to the 'World of Beatrix Potter' in Bowness whilst the villages of Grasmere, Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains are all within easy reach.

Although it says only parking for 2 cars, we had 6 and had no problem parking them all just have to be respectful of the neighbours. We found the property very easily going off the instructions sent to us and if anyone in future needs a taxi, Windermere taxis were great and found us with no problems. Only thing I would say is that the sky box needs updating, it wasnât an issue for us as we were out a lot but if the weather had been bad we may have stayed in more. Other than that no issues at all and would definitely stay again

It is ideal for us with the set up of rooms/bathrooms. However it is a little tired in places and a few things need to be addressed. The bins were full on arrival and so difficult for our waste/recycling to be put out. All dining chairs are rickety and could do with some tlc to be more stable. The main fridge,were told not to adjust but food was getting frozen. Master suite extractor fan not working and so excess condensation

Slight difficulty finding the place as there's a small sign showing hilltop but not langdale view. That would be helpful. Although the place was tired looking the inside was very clean and comfortable. Bed linen and towels 5* Well equipped kitchen , maybe a 4 sliced toaster. Very minor thing. Washer dryer available if needed. Iron and ironing board. Also a hairdryer available. Tv /sky needs updating keeps showing messages about HD. Lovely and quiet, beautiful scenery. Although now unable to walk to lake as it's all private properties. Overall had a lovely holiday, would recommend it. Certainly ideal for a large group.
